Wrapped In Prayers And Love

Hi friends! I want to share with you a most special gift I received several days ago from our friend Barbara. This was a total surprise gift, and surprise me is what she did indeed. Actually I was very honestly stunned. I stood in awe when I opened the pink tissue paper, that Barbara had crocheted this prayer shawl for ME?!?

My pictures do NOT do show the beauty of this shawl. Barbara used a lovely silk/linen gradient yarn of cream to light pink. Ooooh friends! It is just so lovely to wear. When I put it on I feel the love. I truly, truly do.

Go HERE to see Barbara's better pictures of the prayer shawl she made and gave me.❤️ Thank you once again Barbara!

Here is the progress I have made on Farm House.

The latest book I finished reading while treadmill walking was A Bridge Across the Ocean by Susan Meissner. ooOoo! I really liked this book! Have you ever read books about War Brides? This book is about that. Oh how very, very interesting.

Wartime intrigue spans the lives of three women—past and present—in the latest novel from the acclaimed author of Secrets of a Charmed Life.

February, 1946.
World War Two is over, but the recovery from the most intimate of its
horrors has only just begun for Annaliese Lange, a German ballerina
desperate to escape her past, and Simone Deveraux, the wronged daughter
of a French Résistance spy.

Now the two women are joining hundreds of other European war brides aboard the renowned RMS Queen Mary
to cross the Atlantic and be reunited with their American husbands.
Their new lives in the United States brightly beckon until their
tightly-held secrets are laid bare in their shared stateroom. When the
voyage ends at New York Harbor, only one of them will disembark...

Present day. Facing a crossroads in her own life, Brette Caslake visits the famously haunted Queen Mary
at the request of an old friend. What she finds will set her on a
course to solve a seventy-year-old tragedy that will draw her into the
heartaches and triumphs of the courageous war brides—and will ultimately
lead her to reconsider what she has to sacrifice to achieve her own
deepest longings.

I have a giveaway going on right now. It is for an Adam and Eve Reproduction Sampler. You can enter the giveaway HERE.

If your Dad is still living I hope you are able to be with him for Father's Day this Sunday. I am going to stop by my Dad's grave with some flowers.

Thank you for your words of encouragement! I am so blessed to have friends like YOU! Have a wonderful weekend!

What a treasure your gift from Barbara is, Vickie! That shawl is so delicate and pretty in the pink and cream :)

Today was hard for me, too, Vickie, without my dad. It seems so strange not to be buying Father's Day cards or gifts any longer... Hope you made it to your dad's grave--I'm hoping to get up to my father's in NY this coming weekend.
